I really want this to work out, just because I’m sick and tired of the issues with the Trading Post in the 32-bit version. So far, the Trading Post seems to work fine in the 64-bit version. However, I can’t really use the 64-bit client, because I get around 15fps on “Best Performance” on 2560×1600 and on the only other choice of 1280×800, the fps is low 20s, but the Chat box doesn’t fit in the left corner, so it is raised higher up the screen.

Please either have other options (1440×900 is the resolution I prefer for this computer) or introduce a “Tiny” for Interface size so the Chat box will fit. I’d prefer having the 1680×1050 option as the 1280×800 doesn’t look right to me (bit blurry), or both! Or get the FPS performance more like the 32-bit.

BTW, on 32-bit on 1440×900 ankitten ot on all minimum settings, but get around 30fps (see attached).

Thanks and keep up the good work.

I have the same mac as you, and I’m deeply sorry about the performance. Will it improve? Or are we just stuck with poor quality graphics?

I’m a mac user and I really don’t understand what’s going on and how to fix it. Someone in reddit helped me and I did what he said, I created a json file and I named it as “Settings” and I put that file in application support/ gw2/etc. folder. Yet, this solved my problem for the new 64 bit client but on 32-bit client, I still can’t login. The error is: “The game client was unable to connect to the log-in server. Please restart your client and try again. If the problem persists bla bla bla.” Is there anyone who wants to help me? I want to play the game on 32-bit client because the new one still sucks.

Hello all. I’ve looked through the mesmer builds, but I don’t seem to understand them all but I have the general idea. I’m a fresh 80, and all through the game I’ve played this build, at least tried(of course I didn’t have the exact weapons or armor). https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/external?l=http%3A%2F%2Fen.gw2skills.net%2Feditor%2F%3FvhEQNAraWnsICFohNoBWoBUrhlcDqMAru1o%2FYJzwMBvOkA-TxRAABEqPI6nAAAnCgQV%2FRMlf9s%2FQbKBJFgiKrA-e

And I’m used to more ranged builds, I’ve always been ranged type. I’ve never been a melee character but from what I’ve read, sword seems like the best endgame weapon. I’m looking for a PvE build for now, but I’m open to all types of builds. I’m recently trying a sword+sword/greatsword build (I’ve paired sword with focus too). Greatsword is fine because it’s ranged but I suck at sword, really. I don’t have an idea how I should play, I’m used to running and attacking from distance. I’m not really good at dodging too, and even if I was good, I don’t have an idea when i should dodge.
Actually, I was happy with rabid condi build but I thought I should try more power builds and I actually think I can’t survive on HoT maps with that build, and I guess I need to be more powerful.
I need advice for meleeing, how can I get used to it? What do you suggest me to do?
And I don’t like sword that much but it’s reason may be that I’m not used to close-range and I dislike it because I suck. How can I improve myself?
Does the build I’ve posted seem good enough for the end-game contents? Can I survive with it in HoT maps?
Is there any builds you suggest?

It’s been a long post but I hope someone answers.

Edit: Oh, and I’m planning to try the chronomancer, and I guess it’s more melee type. So I need after all I should get used to use swords.
